Thank you, I think for keeping me in the car after I arrived at my destination. It was cold outside and I gave up the warn fireside chair to hear the end of the discussion on Spyware. It is a bit frightening. It was good to hear someone with a broader view than seems possible from the usual suspects and can place so called friendly powers as threats to our privacy.
We are not likely to ever get control over the technology. The fact that we are governed by people who for the most part are dedicated to advancing their own careers in positions of power and tearing their opponents to pieces helps to ensure that such trivial issues as who is spying on us will remain outside of intelligent consideration.
Perhaps if the whole Parliament of elected representatives was dedicated to overnighting the direction of the country based on advice from competent, qualified and accountable experts, the people using these tools would be more accountable.
I would prefer to not have even my first name published. The purpose of the message is to recognise the important role of the journalist who is speaking out about this risk factor and encourage similar open mindedness in reporting.
